Join the Machine Data & Infrastructure (MDI) department at ASML, where we define and manage machine input settings for advanced lithography systems. These settings enable customers to structure wafers and ensure accurate processing. To speed up adding new settings, we developed a data-driven Code Generator using Xtext and Xtend. However, these technologies are nearing end-of-life, and we need your help to explore alternatives. This internship offers you the chance to contribute to a critical migration project that impacts multiple teams across ASML.
You will investigate and evaluate modern technologies to replace Xtext and Xtend in our Code Generator. Your work will help us prepare for future-proof solutions and reduce dependency on outdated frameworks.
Your main responsibilities will be:
Research and identify alternatives for Xtext and Xtend
Compare options using predefined evaluation criteria
Select the most suitable technology for migration
Demonstrate feasibility by migrating part of the current implementation
Explore automation strategies for full migration, possibly leveraging AI
Document findings and provide recommendations for next steps

Who are we?
ASML is an innovation leader in the global semiconductor industry. We make machines that chipmakers use to mass produce microchips. Founded in 1984 in the Netherlands with just a handful of employees, we’ve now grown to over 40,000 employees, 143 nationalities and more than 60 locations around the world.
What do we do?
We provide chipmakers with hardware, software and services to mass produce patterns on silicon through lithography. Our lithography systems use ultraviolet light to create billions of tiny structures on silicon that together make up a microchip. We push our technology to new limits to enable our customers to create smaller, faster and more powerful chips.
Who are our people?
While you may think that only engineers and mathematicians work at ASML, you'll be surprised to find out that our people come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Across ASML, we have dedicated teams that manage customer support, communications and media, IT, software development and more. Every team in the company is essential for pushing our technology and the industry forward.
